We are best friends. We strive to find the joy in life and love spending time together. Whether that is discovering a new game, indulging in a new cuisine, or simply being in the same room while doing separate things.

We complement each other (opposites do attract). Sarah is better with numbers, Paul is better with words. Paul always wins at Mario Kart, but Sarah always wins at Ticket to Ride. Sarah follows the recipe, and Paul makes it up as he goes. Paul likes the beach, Sarah prefers the mountains.

We work well together. We approach life's many challenges as a team, side by side, working to build the best life possible for our family. And we approach our relationship the same, always working to make it even better.

Take a moment to take a deep breath, sit down, and get comfortable. We imagine that you are on quite the journey right now. A journey that you might not have predicted for yourself.

Families can be made in many different ways. We have the perspective now of looking back on our family and have seen, experienced, and loved a child that became our son through adoption. We have seen the beauty in this bumpy path. Adoption can come with so many complicated emotions, but it can also be a very beautiful thing. We are forever grateful for our son's birth parents, and in our eyes they are heroes. We wanted to share this perspective with you in hopes that it offers comfort during a time that may feel anything but comfortable.

We want to thank you for taking the time to get to know a little about us. We can't pretend to imagine what must be going through your mind, the weight of making this decision for your child. We whole heartedly believe in open adoption, and feel that the more people who love a child, the better! If you decide to create an adoption plan, and choose us as adoptive parents, we will make sure that your child knows your story and just how much you love them.
